SLO-030

Did I not mention adding a silver pinstripe Luc? In the flesh the single black stripe looks pretty good tho.

Are 5k the stronger of the lot? Disregarding 7K rods as I believe them to be the same as 7AFE Rods.

Speaking of Subway, One moved into a group of rented business sheds down my way. Said sheds contained 3 other businesses, all mechanical. Part of subway's agreement of renting was there was to be no mechanical businesses around. SO what does the owner go and do?? Kick out the 3 other businesses so that subway will move in. One of the evicted renters/managers was even a personal friend of the owner/ landlord. Not so much GMG but wonders where the sense in that?

Urethane is a harder compound. Therefore it should take out a bit of slop in any moving joint SO in theory, it should be looked upon as a safety enhancment. Just like bigger brakes, they wouldnt look at you and defect you for them because you must need big brakes for the super high speeds you "COULD" do in school zones.

Can you PM a pic of yours. I may have access to another handle, second hand tho. If its better than yours i'll grab it for you. HELL YEA. Gonna have to bring your 36 down to keep my 38 company, and so i can perv on it :wink: I will still be able to use the RA60 hubs....thank god. Only 1mm difference between the XT and RA in the distance between the wheel and disc mounting faces.

Kelly Charger HR's Are and AWESOME tyre. I bought my ute with them on there and did 30,000km plus whatever the old owner did on them. Hankook Dynamic RA03's are what I'm running now, great tyre. also come with the raised white lettering, although i got that put on the inside.

I've read MX62 = 248 and RA60 = 258 :)

Thanks for the offer Luke, But I'll have to decline. the brake upgrade uses XT130 struts and hubs, RA60 discs (258x20) and MX62 single piston calipers. The reason the MX62 calipers are used is because the Sumitomo twin piston caliper would need a spacer plate to fit over the wider disc. Luc reckons his MX62 rotors are 2" bigger than std KE30 brakes, and these have another 10mm over the MX62's.

Spotted a REAL clean KE35/55 at UPI lonsdale around 12:45. on meshies, looked great.

Since your a Ford man, How bout a 429 BOSS Cammer? :)

Buy them then. $50, tis what i paid for the bearings along. I need to buy XT130's Urgently.

Alrighty, Big f@$k up on my part. As part of my brake upgrade, I need XT130 struts, XT130 hubs and RA60 discs. Now I've gone out and got RA60 Hubs and just realised i didnt need them :hmm: Up for sale is the RA60 hubs. Need to sell so i can get some XT hubs and bearings. FARK!!

f@$k Yea. Those mounts are sexual.

Shannons wont do anyone under 21 i think. or possibly 25.

Picked up my bonnet yesterday from a nice chap called Nigel. In absolutely overrated condition. Mainly because it was made back in 04/05 and been in storage since a couple weeks ago. I put it on and all seems to line up well :hmm: Also got the castor rods and Idler arm in. So much easier working inside the engine bay from underneath since theres nothing in there. Love it.

Diesels will go forever. 1,000,000km+ Top Gear proved you can't kill a diesel Lux. Same would apply to a Cruiser. My uncle has a Sahara, still goes real well. 6cyl Turbo Diesel.

You back on the crack J? Either way, I'm in :hmm:

:wink: :hmm: :y:

FARK. The other apprentice at work saw the same thing during the wet weather we had at the start of January. Only exception is he was watching it in his rear veiw mirror as the bike slide up behind his car and the rider went sliding past.

WOW, thats cool!!

Cheers!! 38 looked good there Skd. Definatly getting harder to find em, and even moreso Pano's.

Yea, I think so too. A member on here did it for me. Bloody AWESOME 'n shit.

Small update. While dealing with some spare time in the pneumatics lab at TAFE i wrote up all the things i've bought for the wagon (including the wagon itself) plus a bonnet I pick up tomorrow, the grand total comes in a tad over $2,800. Factoring in oter stuff like wheels, engine work, diff bearings and all the other little crap. I think i can get it VERY close to being on the road for around the $6-7k mark. Some may have other opinions, but i think that pretty bloody good. Bead Blasted RA60 Hubs; Oh and got these too LCA with Ball Joint and Bush Idler Arm Pitman Arm Outter Tie Rod Inner Tie Rod Castor Bushes and Crush Tubes Sway Bar D bushes with sway bar and bracketry CHEERS Ryan

Oooooooh, look forward to seeing it soon-ish.

And as of Tonight, another chapter in the life of the KE11 closes.....
